Named a useful habit before sleep

Drinking kefir at night can bring tangible benefits to the body, said dietitian-endocrinologist Anton Polyakov.

According to him, thanks to the beneficial microflora contained in kefir, digestion improves and intestinal cleansing is stimulated. The doctor noted that with good tolerance to milk protein casein, this drink can be an excellent option for a light evening snack.

"This is definitely better than sweets or sausage, which many choose before bedtime," the specialist emphasized in a conversation with "AiF". "Kefir maintains the balance of intestinal microflora, strengthens immunity, promotes the restoration of intestinal wall cells due to short-chain fatty acids, reduces inflammation and suppresses the growth of harmful bacteria."
